Description
For fans of Starling House, The September House, and Practical Magic comes a haunting Southern Gothic horror following one woman from a long line of psychics who will do anything to save her family legacy and the haunted house she grew up in from an entity threatening to destroy everything she's built.
Every house has its secrets.
Charley Bryde is miserable in a house filled with magic. The only woman in a long line of famous psychics to not inherit the family gift, she spends her days inside Crimson House, the coveted family mansion in Memphis, Tennessee, living in the shadows of her talented older sister, Miranda. But when a shocking tragedy scatters the Brydes across the globe, Charley is forced to grow up on her own, and fast. As the money runs dry and Charley's ownership of Crimson House is put at risk, she's left with no other option; turn the manor into a haunted attraction and start representing the family brand with lies, cons, and expertly read tarot cards.
When a skeptic starts targeting Charley for the fraud that she is, she'll stop at nothing to save the family legacy. But the skeptics' arrival cracks something open in Charley that the Brydes wanted to remain buried. Deep. And when Miranda shows up unannounced after eight years away, the two will come to realize that Crimson House, and their own family, hold secrets even the greatest psychics couldn't foresee. Secrets that will threaten to destroy them.

The Sisters of Crimson House is a really solid mix of family drama, mystery, and just enough eerie atmosphere to keep things interesting. The Bryde family and their history kept me hooked, especially as more of their past starts to come out. It’s a slower build, but it works. The story takes its time and the twists still managed to surprise me.
Overall, this was an engaging, slightly eerie read with strong characters and a setting that really sticks. Easy five stars.
Dripping with Southern Gothic horror, magic, and searing wit, THE SISTERS OF CRIMSON HOUSE grabbed my hand and would not let go. I fell in love with the tragic Bryde family and know you will too— but be sure to read with *all* the lights turned on!
What an unexpected sleeper of a thriller - gosh I love it when the twists come out of nowhere. Definitely worth reading!
Addictive, twisty, shrouded in intrigue and mystery. This book has a bit of everything you want in a paranomal family. Special abilities, ghosts. and the struggle to overcome and survive. I found myself drawn deeper into Crimson House’s secrets throughout the book, with something surprising popping up in every chapter. A few parts were creepy and I didn’t expect the ending to take the turn it did. This reminded me quite a bit of Carissa Orlando’s “The September House”, which happens to be a favorite read of mine.
The story was balanced and flowed easily. Characters were well-written and felt both fantastical and relatable at the same time. The underlying sibling rivalry theme between Miranda and Charley was a nice touch in my opinion. I will happily read this author again any time she puts out a new book and will be buying this one for my shelf.
